Hello, My variant of ath10k uses the normal 'native-wifi' tx path for management frames. Internally in the firmware, it seems that the management TID is flagged to expect raw frames, and I think that is why I see Action frames on-air that are not actually encrypted but which have some space added to their packet that should be filled in by the hw-crypt engine. Is there a way to get mac80211 to software-crypt just management-tid PMF frames? So far, I have not been able to find the correct place in the tx logic of mac80211... Thanks, Ben
Ok, I found the issue. It seems the ath10k hardware refuses to encrypt management frames unless they are sent in RAW mode (nwifi mgt frames are sent w/out encryption for whatever reason). So, the fix is in the ath10k driver (and just my driver I suppose, stock driver uses a different API for mgt frames that eventually is raw-tx down in the firmware).
